Treasurer
Linda Brandt	LINDA BRANDT is a retired accountant. She worked 18 years in her field at various firms during her husband’s 30-year career in the US Army. She served 10 years in the US Coast Guard Auxiliary as Finance Officer for Flotilla 74 in Brandon, FL as well the Finance Officer for Division 7 overseeing five additional flotillas. She also completed the necessary steps to become Boat Crew Qualified and joined many patrols in the Tampa Bay area. When she first joined the Safety Harbor Boat Club, she began crewing on S/V Incentive, a 1983 27’ Watkins sloop owned by the late Dale E Cuddeback. After crewing and racing with Dale for over two years, she acquired the boat in 2019 and renamed it the S/V Green Eyed Lady during a proper ceremony to appease the wind Gods. Linda will be watched by all of us, but nobody is really worried…

Secretary
Linda Maksel	LINDA MAKSEL was born in New York. In 1992 she moved to Florida because her husband's parents were living here and their health was failing. Linda got her Bachelor's Degree from Middlesex College in New Jersey. Before retiring, she raised her family of two kids and later worked at Pet Mart Supermarket as a Manager. While growing up, Linda's grandparents lived on the water and had a boat. She also bought a little boat for her sister and herself. It was fun. Linda spent a lot of time there and loved the water. She also did a lot of fishing and crabbing. Their house was on Jamaica Bay at the tail end of the Rockaways on a small island called Meadowmere Park. Linda attended our Club's recent Annual Change of Watch Party and was introduced to the Safety Harbor Boat Club by Marion Ruuge-Aronson, our prior SHBC Scribe. Linda will be asisted by Marion Ruuge-Aronson.
